Cannot power on the VM because of insufficient memory

Ive looked for the last 2 hours trying to find a solution to my problem, without success.

My VM does not illuminate unless I reduce the RAM 2 038 MB.  I currently have 24 concerts in this host, and about 5 GB used.  I am under my computer as an administrator.

I did recently Bitlocker encrypt the drive of the virtual machine is on but it will power on when I reduce it to 2038. I have a lot of overhead in the memory Department.

How can I get the VM to power with my allotted 4 or 6 GB of ram?

Find the config.ini file that is used on your system - read a vmware.log will show you the full path.
Set the 2 parameters as you can see in the 2 lines.
If those lines don't print - add them manually.

prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "25".

prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = "FALSE".

  • Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on the virtual machine.

    VMware esx ei, 3.5.0 123629

    Physical memory: 64 GB

    Hard drive: 1.63 TB

    7 virtual machines. 5 of them are configured with 4 GB memory and 2 of them with 2 GB of memory. I am able to power on 3 virtual machines with 4 GB of memory.

    When I try to turn on 4th VM with 2 GB of memory, I get this error message "could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on VM.»

    I would like to know if this is the limitation of the ESX Server? How should I size the memory for VMS if I want to run every 7 virtual machines to the

    Moreover, given that I have 64 GB of physical memory. Is there documentation that provides a report of the maximum allowed memory configurable

    compared to the virtual memory?

    Thank you

    Ganesh.

    Ganesh,

    Memory reservations are defined based on VM by VM.

    You can allocate more memory to the virtual machines you have in your host (it's not really a good idea to go crazy with the overcommitment of memory, but some level of excessive pressure is used in general).  Memory applied to your VM resources are shares, bookings and VMkernel Swap limits.

    Just to illustrate:

    You allocate 8 GB memory to a virtual computer.  If you take all the parameters by default, ESX will allot a 8 GB VMkernel Swap file in the base directory of your VM (it will have the extension ".vswp") this VMkernel Swap file is a safety net.  Your virtual machine, at this stage, can consume up to 8 GB of memory If physics is available from the host.  If the memory of your host is overcommitted, some of the available memory 8 GB could be allocated on 8 GB VMkernel Swap file.

    If you set a reserve of memory - 2 GB - this means that the vmkernel will still award the first 2 GB of memory used by the virtual machine to the physical memory.  This is not means that the 2 GB of memory reserved is carved off the coast and completely dedicated to the virtual machine.  This means that the vmkernel offers up to 2 GB of RAM to the VM when and if she needs to use it.  It is a guarantee that the memory will be available upon request.  Because of this guarantee of the VMkernel, VMkernel swap file only has to make sure that the 6 GB memory is satisfied (4 GB total less the 2 GB reserved), so the VMkernel Swap file is only 6 GB in size.

    Actions are a mechanism for prioritization and limits are a cap on physical memory ever allocated to the VM.

    You can set up any number of memory for the virtual machines that you want - frankly, overcommitment of memory for ESX is a very good thing, but you must be vigilant about watching your systems if approve you.  If you have 64 GB of RAM, and you only configure your virtual machines to use total 32G, then you lose 32 GB of RAM.  If you allocate, say, 96 GB of RAM (total) to your virtual machines, then you look at a 50% overcommitment.  What to watch in overcommitting memory is application performance (and more importantly - perception of the user of this performance) and also the memory ballooning and VMkernel Swapping activity.  Those who can both will be in graphics performance in VirtualCenter.  I would recommend reading the Guide to management resources for more details.

    Hope that provides an overview.

    Thank you

    Method 3:  If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, click computer.

    b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log

    c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

    Well, it's going to be a long Chronicle, but in the end, the problem has been resolved. Please bear with me:

    Running the program MS Fixit in the past without success, I tried to run the update after you temporarily disable AVG, my program AV. no joy.

    I then ran CC Cleaner to get rid of some of 'dead weight '. I even used its registry cleaning option (which included saves).

    At that point, I did some 'household', & began to defragment my HD with Defraggler. But since it seems to take forever, I went to My Defrag, who finished the job much quicker.

    Although I tried to delete the edb.log file using method 3, I kept getting a message system which was unable to complete this action because the file has been opened in another program.  In the end, I was able to delete the file, but fact directly through Explorer. There also seems to be a sort of small file edb.log, indicating that it was a "recovered" version I deleted that one as well.

    At this point, I ran MS Fixit, who States that the Windows Update components needed to be fixed and proceeded to do so again. Because he had allegedly "fixed" my Updater in the past, I was not holding much hope that this time would be any different. So, after that what he has done, I was pleasantly surprised, I might actually start updating!

    However, the update message that a new version would be dl before I could go any further. So I did it.

    When the new version is started, it ran for about 10 minutes, coming with about 50 updates. According to flush out those who were of no use to me, finally I had dl and installed all relevant updates. And now, the update seems to work fine.

    Once again, my apologies for the long answer. But I wanted to tell the whole story, as I did not quite plan of RajithR.

    Thank you!
